We are pleased to announce that ISTC Community is running its short story competition again this spring.

The theme is “It was spring 2018 when I first realised I could…”.

You are not limited to writing about tech comms related topics (though if this inspires you then we would love to read it too) so feel free to get as creative as you would like!
